Wow, there's a real jump. If you read the person who worked there in 03, there wasn't the malice in the post that was on the CL ad. She was just making an observation like other past employees have made (who you didn't jump on). And she ends with the fact she is happy to see the owners putting some money into the business. The "time on your hands" comment works for all posters....
Personally, I have been to broadways a number of times, granted not in the last year or so, and comparing it to any MP I have visited in Toronto, Calgary or the states, well... It is truly unfortunate that this is the nicest FS MP I have been to in Winnipeg (someone jump in with Nevadas here, sorry I haven't been there). Its sort of like being the nicest public washroom in Calcutta. Not a standard of excellence to be held to.
New soap dispenSers? Wow, now they just need to buy some decent soap for them and get people to use it... upgrades would be flooring, paint, plumbing, mattresses, chairs, changes of bedding, big fluffy towels, actual pleasant decor, air filters, that kind of stuff. Don't get me wrong, soap dispensers are a good idea, but they shouldn't be considered an upgrade, they should be a must have. Sharing bars of soap? Ewwww... thats why hotels give you the little bars every day. And hotels give you a nice, big room with clean sheets for $60 for the whole day, not an hour.
You'd never hear a rumor like this about EB/TO. And most MP's I've been to outside Winnipeg compare with EB on a cleanliness level. But since FS MP's here are in such short supply, I guess the owners don't feel the necessity to actually give the customers and workers a nice enviroment to take care of business in. And why do they charge the same room rate as EB, yet give you a place that you actually have to worry about rumors like these?
I remember when they renovated the main floor and had some rooms set up down there. Had the pleasure of having a session there before it got shut down. Why they don't give the upstairs a full reno, and hire a maid I'll never know. I guess they are busy enough and don't want to attract too much attention by being too busy.
I know they are not issuing any new MP licenses so these jokers wil have no new local competition, and can keep getting away with the stuff they are doing. I wonder why no-one has set up a place just outside the City Limits to avoid the stupid bylaws and escort license fees. Set up a nice little place, clean and well staffed, offer the ladies transport to and from... Winnipeg's answer to the bunny ranch.
